Mailbox Monday (4/8/13)


Welcome to MariReads, Mailbox Monday-ers!

April 8th. It is my little sister's birthday today. By little, I mean she is 34 today. :) Happy Birthday!

Wanted to apologize for the Mister Linky closing early last week. I forgot to renew my subscription so couldn't post more than one link at a time. I was trying to get today's post ready early. Oops. Anyway, it is all fixed now.

For those of you who may not be familiar with the meme, here is what it is all about:

"Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. It was started by Marcia, previously of The Printed Page and is now a Blog Tour, hosted by a different book blog each month."
____________________________

Only one book for me this week. I chose Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl for this month's book group. I really wanted a to read it before seeing the movie and felt we needed a lighter read after last month's book. Hoping the others like it. 
Who has read it? Any good?
___________________________

So, what did you get this past week? Enquiring minds would like to know.

Happy Reading!

    Hi Mari,

    I hope that your sister has a lovely day, will you be getting to spend any time with her?

    I am not sure that 'Beautiful Creatures' is a book for me, but is definitely a name that I shall be passing onto my niece, who loves that genre of film and book, so thanks for the recommendation.

    Have a good week and thanks for hosting.

    Yvonne

      Unfortunately no. We live a few hours away from each other. ;)

    Thanks for hosting MM! Sisters are the best- happy birthday to her!
    I liked Beautiful Creatures (the book) okay but I haven't seen the movie yet. Hope you and your book club enjoy it.
    Have a great week!

    I haven't read it but a friend of mine did when it first came out and bought it for her niece for Christmas after that. I hope you love it!

    I haven't read it either, have been on the fence about reading it. I'll look forward to your review and book club & movie thoughts!

    Happy Birthday to your sister! I have read the first two in the Beautiful Creatures series (I think there are 4 total) and I must admit that I wasn't thrilled...they were just ok for me...I haven't seen the movie yet. But I know that lots of people absolutely loved them...so I hope that you shall as well!

      That is too bad. Hopefully we won't be too disappointed with this selection. If nothing else, we will have fun going and seeing the movie. :)

    Happy BD to your sister. Thanks again for hosting. I haven't read Beautiful Creatures and will be curious how your group responds.

    A very happy birthday to your sis!

    I had wanted to read the book before seeing the film too (I have had the book for a couple of years), but it didn't happen. Then, I couldn't pass up the chance to see the movie at the discount theater so I went. I thought it was pretty good actually. Better than some people told me it was.

    Have a great week!
